“I want to assure people of JK that administration would not take action against any innocent person”

Srinagar: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Sunday said that militants are resorting to attacks on innocent civilians to provoke armed forces so that they will do something in desperation.

The attack on innocent civilians in Kashmir is the result of sheer desperation. They are not even sparing girls and women now. It is their desperation, that they are resorting to such killings to provoke armed forces so that they will do something similar in desperation, he said, while addressing a gathering in Srinagar.

He said that he wants to assure the people of Jammu and Kashmir that the administration wouldn’t take action against any innocent person.

“It has been the policy of JK administration that our armed forces should not take action against any innocent person,” he said.

Sinha said militancy is being used as a tool against innocent civilians and administration and forces would do their work with promptness.

Sinha also appealed to the people to condemn these civilian killings in strongest possible terms.
